Call of Duty: Warzone – Season 5 Patch Notes

Warzone Season 5: Patch Notes

Warzone Season 5 is live! There’s a host of changes to the loot pool, playlist, map, and more – all of which you’ll find below.

For an overview of the Operators, Maps, and teasers for the future, our Season 5 guide has you covered.

It’s worth noting that a big weapon tuning and balance update is due soon. This means there aren’t any major tweaks yet, only a couple to marksman rifles and the FR 5.56. Expect the FAL and Bruen to see changes over the next couple of weeks.

Roadmap

Here’s everything that’s lined up for Season 5.

The big + symbol in the “And More!” section likely refers to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s live in-game announcement. Infinity Ward has made it clear something is going to happen in Warzone to reveal the next Call of Duty game.

Given all the bunkers and keycards floating around, alongside some spooky Operator visuals in the lobby screen, we can’t imagine it’ll be long before Cold War’s reveal and Warzone’s transition to a new game.

Patch Notes

Day One Playlist Update

Infinity Ward has clocked onto the fact most players aren’t too happy with Juggernaut crates being added to regular Warzone game modes. It’s lowered their spawn rate and removed them entirely from Buyback Solos, but is this enough? The community wants them gone entirely, or at least exclusive to the Juggernaut Royale game mode.

All this backlash stems from Juggernauts simply being too overpowered. Most final circles descend into Juggernaut stand offs, with any non-juggernauts facing obliteration. Sure, it’s a bit of a laugh in the Juggernaut Royale mode, but it’s not so fun when you’re faced with this scenario in every single game mode.

Also, take note of the Keypads being activated. Players are discovering keypads, keycards, codes, and the like, in a similar vein to the bunkers from Season 4. We imagine this is all a big build up to the next Call of Duty in-game reveal! Keep an eye on the site for more info.

Original Post

The Season Five update has a download size of approximately 34-54 GB for owners of the full version of Modern Warfare and free-to-play Warzone who are up-to-date with the latest update.

• PlayStation 4: 33.9 GB
• Xbox One: 49.8 GB
